Get a grip, models!

Lamar, we’ve got another expensive fashion show to put on today, and our label is in the toilet. Have you found any more ways to save money? We just can’t afford a first class runway production.
Relax, Boss, I’m saving us a fortune.
Bless you, Lamar! How did you do it this time?
By not renting backstage dressing rooms for the models. You can’t imagine how much that saves!
Are they okay with that?
Well, they were a little concerned about their personal belongings, what with no lockers for storing their suitcases.
And?
I told them to just carry their own luggage on the runway and make it look as natural as possible.
Lamar! How natural can it look if a model is carrying her fricking suitcase in an international fashion show?
Boss, Boss, Boss. These gals are pros! You’ll never even notice it!

Tell me something, BG….What’s a Eulalia? The Spanish equivalent of a vuvuzela? That must be one LOUD – and annoying – fashion show.
you’d be surprised at what some of those gals are hauling around http://blogs.reuters.com/oddly-enough/20 11/07/06/hey-theres-thuggage-in-your-lug gage/
The Groucho Marx duck walk made it to the runway!
Orange socks and black heels: another Halloween Fashion Show!
good one, OneDoor!
“Only one man in a thousand is a leader of men, the other 999 follow women.” –Groucho Marx
Someone ought to tap my Lamar’s financial genius and let him fix the country’s economy. Baz/Lamar 2012 — that’s the ticket!
Here I thought that Mr B was telling the models to ‘catch the grippe!’
@Moonshine, I think Eulalia might be a descendant of Samsonite.
I prefer runways aircraft land on. Can we get a 747 in there? That would liven up the show.
Skeleton skeleton where art thou…
I’m amazed they can actually lift those things off the ground…well at least for a couple of inches…
I’m hoping the dresses can handle the stress and stretching, as otherwise I can see a ‘suitcase (no wardrobes here) malfunction’.
Lift with your back, not your legs. Lift awkwardly, with a twisting motion, maybe reach out a bit.
Honestly, could somebody toss them a sandwich?
Old-fashioned suitcases and modern dresses. It’s a fashion anachronism.
When Blog Guy asked Lamar how to save money at this fashion show, Lamar said, “Boss, I’ll write up my proposal in a haiku.” This is what he wrote:
How to save money
Models carry their own bags
Even on runways
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Igor, help me with the bags.
Igor: [Imitating Groucho Marx] Soitenly. You take the blonde, I’ll take the one in the turban.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: I was talking about the luggage.
